The European Union is urging global cooperation in the development and deployment of emerging technologies to prevent a situation where one country, such as China or the US, dominates the tech landscape. This warning comes as the EU launches its new Digital Services Act, which aims to regulate AI and other advanced technologies. The act's goal is to ensure that these technologies are developed and used in ways that benefit all nations, rather than creating a technological monopoly controlled by a single power.

Nvidia expects a $5.5 billion hit, while AMD could lose up to $800 million. The US has restricted exports of high-end GPUs to China, but the new rules pose a roadblock for Nvidia's H20 chip sales. Analyst Rob Enderle predicts Chinese companies, led by Huawei, will capitalize on the opportunity to dominate the market. He believes the tightened export controls will alienate US allies and increase their reliance on China for chips.
